Castle to Crane Boat Race, River Leven, Dumbarton

The biggest open water rowing race to be held in Scotland. 13 miles of fierce racing from Dumbarton Castle to the Finnieston Crane in the heart of Glasgow. Quoted from 'Castle to Crane on Facebook'.

GalGael’s 30ft long Orcuan was built in 2001 to an ancient Scottish prototype. She is an interpretation of the historic galleys of the West Coast; the Birlinn, Scotland’s traditional Gaelic longboat. Quoted from the Galgael website.

Terrific action shot Joe, good to note everyone is wearing a buoyancy aid,
Do they start this long hard race at low tide?

This is the second year of this annual race, Roger. I attended both races and they did both start at low tide. Thanks for your very kind comment. Cheers, Joe
